Trends in production relocation and backshoring activities (2012, background): “It is expected that companies focusing on a price leadership strategy are more frequently active in production relocation activities, as the labour cost advantages of low-wage countries contribute directly to their most important competitive factor (Benito, 2005) and thus provide a good fit of facil”
Zoom in, zoom out: Geographic scale and multinational activity (2018, background): “MNE entry decisions are the subject of a large literature in IB, and while divestment has received much less attention, there is a relatively small stream of research here as well (e.g., Benito, 2005).”
Extending the internationalization process model: Increases and decreases of MNE commitment in emerging economies (2011, background): “Hence we contribute to the Uppsala tradition by explicitly accounting for the possibility of commitment decreases, which recent developments of the model have acknowledged but not systematically investigated (Benito, 2005; Benito et al., 2009).”

(2018, background): “Some issues, such as exits and divestments (e.g. Benito 2005), are generally under-researched in international business, and merit more scholarly attention especially in the context of emerging country OFDI.”
An Empirical Investigation of the Role of Industry Factors in the Internationalization Patterns of Firms (2005, unknown): “Pursuing strategies that do not fit the industry characteristics would create disadvantages in the long run, with divestments and market withdrawals as possible outcomes (Benito 2005).”
Multinational Enterprises and Local Contexts: The Opportunities and Challenges of Multiple Embeddedness (2011, unknown): “In extreme cases, these challenges can become overwhelming, leading the parent MNE to divest subsidiaries and even to exit markets (Benito, 2005).”
